Default Cooking Body

Hi Craig, I certainly understand what you are referring to about the body post cure.
The only advantage to having the body stored for a while is it gets a chance to cure and for trapped bubbles to erupt from under the gel coat. However, I certainly will have it baked a few times in a spray booth before the major refinish work commences.
The work I'm currently doing is basically getting doors/bonnet and boot lid fitted and gapped.
I'm also reshaping some areas, like removing the inside top of corners of the foot boxes just in case i do fit a 351. This part of the foot boxes is not needed and gives a lil more room to get at plugs etc with the taller 351 Windsor block.
Thanks for the advice
